I bet you can't spell.... SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS

While we were at dinner last night, we got to talking about the new Mary Poppins Broadway show and the songs in the show. Growing up we were often subjected to watching the movie (my dad's favorite), and now I've grown to love the movie and the books it's based on. (They're great but not like the Disney movie - those opposed to Disney will enjoy them.

My lovable hubby was convinced that the special word in the movie (and in the Broadway show) contained every letter in the alphabet. The Broadway show spells the word out... and I wasn't pretty sure there wasn't a "z" in the word.


A agreed with me and bet her dad that she was right and he was wrong. Both grandma and I told A we'd back her up. So the final bet (after MUCH wrangling): If A was right she got a webkinz (very popular here). If she was wrong then she had to keep her room clean every day for a month and if she missed a day she lost tv and computer for a month. I thought that merited 2 webkinz, but not my hubby.


So the results? It's spelled: SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPIALIDOCIOUS.


Do you see a "Z"? Me neither.




I'm pleased to introduce you to Girly-Girl. A is now the proud owner of her first webkinz. She was so excited she was up at the crack of dawn (after a late night) and promptly woke her daddy at 10 am to take her to get her first webkinz.

Too funny! We love Webkinz here too. Sophia now has 2 of them and Isaac has 3! (yes, my 11 year old boy!) Love 'em! You'll have to email me so A and Sophia can exchange user names and become "friends" in webkinz world!

PS! And just for the record...that was NOT a fair bet! Good thing A won!

Ok - I have no idea what a Webkinz is - from the pic it looks like a stuffed animal but I'm sure it is much more than that.

Do tell...

Webkinz are a stuffed animal with a special code. You go to their website, register the code and then your Webkinz animal shows up on the screen with his/her own house, etc. You can interact with other Webkinz and if your friend has a Webkinz you can put them on your friend list and play together online. It's Millsbery/Club Penguin with a stuffed animal thrown in. You have to feed them, take care of them, etc. It's only for a year, but you can extend by buying a subscription. The girls enjoy it! Just wait - your time will come. :-)
